The Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Akomea, says the party will announce a running mate for Nana Akufo-Addo in July 2012.
He says that the Running Mate position is not an elective one whereby campaigning and canvassing of vote is required so party members should stop rallying behind certain candidates for the position.
Nana Akomea explains that at the end of National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held on 24th May, 2011, it was decided that no individual or group of persons should be heard or seen to be canvassing for a particular person to be chosen as the Running Mate of Nana Akufo-Addo, the flag bearer of the NPP.
He assures supporters of the party that there are guidelines in choosing a running mate and the party would ensure that these guidelines would be diligently followed and an appropriate, suitable and acceptable person would be announced as Running Mate by July 2012.

Rawlings wants to stage another coup - Boakye Gyan
A former ally to Ex-President Rawlings and a key member of the 1979 June 4 uprising, Major (Retd) Boakye Gyan, has alleged that the former President wants to stage another coup.
According to the security expert, Mr. Rawlings’ constant hacking away at previous and current governments for apparent inaction, corruption among others shows that he is preparing grounds for another coup.
He was speaking on Adom FM’s morning show, Dwaso Nsem on Monday on former President Rawlings’ speech during the commemoration of the June 4 uprising in Kumasi over the weekend.
In his speech, the former President is quoted as saying “It is time to take up the party, government and the country, clean them and hand them over to a more responsible leader.”
And Major Boakye Gyan says those statements should not be taken lightly because being a former soldier and an ally to the
Rawlingses; he understands the implications of those comments attacking both the ruling and past governments.
He said Mr. Rawlings’ labeling of President Mills a failure even before his tenure in office ends and his calling former President Kufuor a corrupt leader and a thief sums up his intention to take over the ruling of the country by using his wife as a tool.
He chastised the ex-President for wanting the whole country to believe that his administration was the best ever in history of the country.
He also stated that the former President should be summoned to The Hague to answer for the overthrow of a constitutionally elected government of the late Dr Hilla Limann.
When asked whether he is afraid of Mr. Rawlings, Osahene Boakye Gyan said he wasn’t adding “only one bullet can kill me”.
